The wait is over. The new theatrical trailer for the new Star Trek movie is now officially online, with an exclusive at Apple Trailers, including HD. If you haven’t seen it yet, this is the second best way besides seeing it onscreen. In addition the official site for the Star Trek movie has been re-launched with a new look and some hidden features. UPDATE: There is also a new TV spot and some foreign dubbed versions.

Official site updated with new look + including hidden features
The official site for the new movie, StarTrekMovie.com (not to be confused with the unofficial home for all things Trek, TrekMovie.com), has been updated as well. There are new wallpapers as well as updates of some of the recent photos in the gallery. There are also two new ‘Easter eggs’ hidden on the site with some additional content. So go to the official site now and check it out.

Find the Easter Egg – win a prize!The first persons to identify either of the new hidden Easter Eggs on the official site (where to find them and what the content is) in the comments below will be sent a new Star Trek film related prize by TrekMovie.com.

Trailer seen by millions so far + profiled on ET tonight
The new Bond movie Quantum of Solace raked in over $70 Million at the box office over the weekend, which works out to about 10 million tickets. TrekMovie reported previously that some theaters chose to not show the trailer, but the vast majority did so at least 7-8 million people saw this trailer on the big screen (probably another half million or more watched the bootleg online over the weekend). Also tonight (Monday), Entertainment Tonight will be showing this new trailer, which should help reach that expanded audience.

More trailer coverage coming up
TrekMovie is all over the new trailer. Coming up we will be taking a closer look at the trailer and explain what many of the shots are, and we have additional trailer related articles planned as well. So stay tuned to TrekMovie.com.

UPDATE: New TV Spot

There is also a one minute version of the trailer, which is being called a ‘TV Spot’ (no word on when and where it will air, this might just be the one they show on ET tonight). No new content, essentially the same trailer, but the corvette part is removed. Check it out (via IGN) below:

UPDATE 2: Foreign version
Paramount has also created a foreign versions. So far we have idented a German dub and Brazilian (subtitled in Portuguese), both of which include an intro (in English) from JJ Abrams.

One of the hidden features on the site is a special Nero wallpaper – when you click on “Downloads,” a red beacon appears in the top-right corner that says “Incoming Transmission.” If you click on it, the wallpaper appears in a pop-up window.

Can’t load HD from Apple!
In the opinion of a nobody artist/designer/art director:
Cheesy “Sci-Fi” music over the car scene.
Cheesy Droid scene. Why would a Droid wear clothes or a helmet or have breathing apparatus? If he’s humanoid – same questions.
Really, really cheesy Disney-like transporter swirls on Spock. The rest looks good.

I did see it in the theatre after having seen it online and my reaction was decidedly that it was visually overwhelming. The cuts too fast to discern anything. My general impression was that it was to build excitement for an audience not familiar with Star Trek. I was left with a dissatisfied feeling in the theatre. Anyone lurking on this site will want to see it via Apple HD download in order to really look at it.

My only criticism at this point? Simon Pegg’s Scotty does not seem quite right and that line is probably the worst the character has ever been given to say.

Based on the information available so far (interviews, pictures, scene descriptions, 2 trailers) my expectation is this: 70%: The movie sucks. It’s just another pointless fast-cut no-brainer action blockbuster, like Transformers. It has nothing to do with Star Trek. I will never watch any so-called „Star Trek“ by JJ Abrams again. 25%: Mixed feelings. There are many annoying re-imagined elements, canon violations, and action movie stereotypes, but there are also many genuine Star Trek elements which compensate for that. 5%: Wow! Great movie. The movie has so much of Roddenberry’s vision and Star Trek spirit that the unavoidable continuity issues don’t really matter. JJ saved Trek! (For the record: Before the scene descriptions, full trailer and particularly before some of JJ’s interviews, I gave this option 80% credence.) If the 70% scenario should really become true, it’s likely the franchise will not be re-invigorated (at least not in any category other than profit) and a younger audience will not get excited over Roddenberry’s vision. And why should they? They haven’t been presented with anything special. They will simply leave the cinema saying: This was cool! and: The explosion at the end kicks ass! and then indifferently move on to the next action flick which is hyped at the time. I sincerely hope the movie will be in the other 30%! But I have ceased to feel any enthusiasm or excitement over the movie. After all, what do I care? I still have my TOS-R boxes and my Trek collection and… Read more »

Everyone always says go see it on the big screen. Better yet, get a hi-def digital projector like mine and watch it in your house on a hi-def 144 inch screen. Now thats style. You’ll save yourself a lot of fuss and money in the end.

Okay, I’m starting to believe that we’re all wrong about what the movie is about. I believe that it’s going to be about how Spock’s work with the Romulans sparks them to go back in time to try and end Vulcan once and for all. This movie is about Spock going back in time to get Kirk and company to try and save Vulcan from being destroyed.

I come to that conclusion cause there seems to be a lot of scenes in the trailer on or over Vulcan.

So much better off the website than youtube. I have goosebumps! So excited for this movie.

I noticed that Kirk is in bed with an Orion slave girl, not Uhura. And for Alias fans (and Felicity), Amanda Freeman (?) who played Carrie, is one of the cameos to watch for – she is on the bridge behind Scotty.

I’m getting tired of people saying “it isn’t Star Trek”. It IS Star Trek, just not the one with the plywood boards, blinking lights, and bluescreen.

I’m an old fan from the NBC days, one of the biggest fans around and you HAVE TO understand that “old” Trek is never coming back, and never will. It was a show for a different time on a different medium.

Holger: Sadly, I have to agree. Given that the job of a trailer is to bring in the masses, I haven’t entirely lost hope, but I’m not inspired by this trailer. Star Trek at its best – and what made it special – was that it was about ideas and imagination, and human beings dealing with places and beings and situations that no human has ever dealt with before, and succeding because we ‘re capable of being clever and imaginative and enlightened – but there’s no evidence whatsoever of that in this trailer. What we have instead, it seems, is Kirk and Spock apparently having a fist fight.
On the other hand, that brief glimpse of McCoy and Scotty speaks volumes – you can really see that they have their own handle on the characters without doing them an injustice.
So – my expectations are not high but I’m hoping to be surprised.
And I think that’s Ben Cross as Sarek at 1.06.
